Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A small, semi-wild, west-facing Atlantic beach north of Cedeira, with golden sand, rocky outcrops and tide pools; free-roaming horses and cattle roam nearby hillsides. Flat, shallow sandy terrain; unsuitable for surfing per one source. Underwater holes and a riptide make it unsuitable for casual swimming. No camping, dogs or nudism. Lifeguard cover is disputed, likely absent. Caution advised at low tide, when rocks and holes show, and on the outgoing tide.
